Knee Replacement

01483 571122

In the Trauma & Orthopaedic surgery department in your trust, I would like to know if you have a printed ERP (Enhanced Recovery Protocol) for Knee Replacement Surgery? This can be for Total Knee Replacement, Unicompartmental Knee Replacement or Patellofemoral Replacement. The Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust uses care pathways for all elective surgery which includes an ERP checklist such as whether patient information leaflets and pre-load carbohydrate drinks have been given. However, the Trust does not have a specific printed ERP protocol for knee replacement surgery.
